A HERO OF PEACE.
The Gallant Fireman Whom New
York has Honored.
New York SUM-

The man whom the Fire Commissioners
named on Saturday last as tho winner Of the
Bennett medal for 1886, for bravery In saving
life, is Michael Brady Of Engine "a, first
grade fireman. He is an Irishman by birth.
but came to this country when he was very
young. After being educated In our public
schools, he became housesmith, and fol-
lowed this calling until Oct. 16, 1873, when
he was appointed fireman. He has served
with four different engine companies. and
with one hook and ladder company. He
followed truck for two years. and then at
his own request was transferred again TO
the engine service He has been with En-
CINE "a for two years. In appearance Mr..
Brady is tall and slender, of a well-knit and
muscular build. pleasing face. clear, direct
eye, and sandy hair and mOustache. He Is
forty years OF age, though he seems ten
years younger.
daring feats, particularly recommended him
as the recipient of the medal was the saving
OF the life Of Gustav Schauthaler on Dec. ~,
1886. The engine had just returned from a
midnight fire and the men were barely
asleep, when they were called TO the burn
ing Of a tenement at 232 West Twenty
third street. 1t was about 6 In the morning.
Brady's engine arrived first on the scene.
He was driving, and before he reached the
hydrant he caught sight Of man hanging by
his arms from window ON the fourth floor.
Dense smoke was pouring from the window
and sheets of flame envelOped the upper
framework. No hook and ladder company
had yet arrived.
Throwing the reins into the hands Of an

| preaching. lie seized 14-fOot scaling lad

| of wood with cross bars and hook Of iron
at one end. Fixing this hook In the sash Of
| the first story window, he mounted, broke
| in the window with his hard rubber hat,
threw a leg across the sill to support him
self, raised the ladder to the second story.
mounted it, again supported himself by one
| leg while he hooked the ladder In the story
above, and so climbed up the very face OF
the building till he could throw his arms
| about the frightened and nearly suffoeated
man. He descended as he had gone up, car
| rying the almost inanimate man. A breath
| less crowd below greeted the last step with
| a tremendous burst OF applause.
Brady also distinguished himself at the
Belt line car stables fire, lifting, unalded, q

roof Of their burning shanty, and lowering

member Of the Exhibition Glass, a corps Of

who show distinguished guests what New
York firemen can do with the scaling ladder.

THE HOP FIELD.
An Industry that Is a curse to Those
Engaged In u.

OtsegO, Madison and Oneida counties are
the heart Of the hop section Of New York
state, writes correspondent. We win select
one of the fields that lie along the sides Of
the rich and delightful Oriskany valley. Two
or three stout fellows are engaged at large
wages to do the pulling Of poles. These
they lay along the large boxes into which the
picking is done. Some pickers do their work
alone, and the very best will have as high as
four boxes in day; but few reach two. The
prices paid are from 40 cents TO 80 cents a
box without board, and 80 cents to IS cents
with board. The profits would not be
large, only that whole families down TO the
10-year-olds, are all earning something. l
have known a mother with parcel OF boys
and girls to 20 home with over 500 In her
pockets with which to buy her winter sup
plies. The smell Of the hops is delightful TO
me, but Is oyerpowerlngly strong 70 some.
Invalids are frequently. restored to health
thereby, and women rarely ever fail Of grow
ing strong. A hop pillow Is a capital gift
for friend who Is troubled with insomnia.
A light infusion Of hops also makes a
valuable valuable tea for dsCrdssed Digestion
laid across the boxes and are. stripped.
When a yard is finished, IL Is an in
describably desolate place. The Industry
has on the whole proved curse to the
people. 1t Is one of those crops that for one
or two years renders fortune TO the grow
ers, and then the market falls TO nothing.
and the grower Is soon under mort
gage. There are few who have been
accustomed to a profit OF only 500
to $500 year on farm-0r no profit
at all above expenses, but now are sud
denly showered with gain Of thousands In
a single year, but will lay it out foolishly. A

onal folds, crossing each other from the chest
to the waist-line, and of gray, eream-white,
ecru pilot-cloth, with borders braided In gold
or In green, blue, black, olive, Roman red,
ETC., to match the shade OF the costume. The
new waistcoats are longer by several inches
than those OF last spring, as are also the bod
Ices and jackets worn with them, and upon
many are deep pocket-haps, or square
side pockets, decorated with large
enamel buttons or otherwise, with
rows of braid set on in straight lines or
wrought in designs Of plaques, disks, Greek
key patterns, or odd arabesque devices.
These are outlined in some instances with
Carmelite beads, or those in cashmere color
ings, the beads repeating the rich shades In
the tweed composing the tailor gown with
which the waiscoat is worn.
Many Of the stylish travelling suits for au-
tumn are made Of Queens tweed In narrow
stripes and bars, or Of finely twilled basket
cloth illumined with bright threads of color.
Accompanying these are wraps Of various
figures. Among them are double-breasted
coats, easy-ftting in front, with close backs
and Tapped fronts finished with one, short
velvet revers on both sides which reach from
shoulder TO hem. A close velvet vest shows
beneath this stylish wrap, closed with hand
some buttons in gold and bronze. Scotch
tweeds, striped with faint lines Of white. are
made into entire costumes, with iaunty short
coats and Rob Roy caps en- suite. The grace
and protective French long coats, fash
Oned in Jersey style, with long pointed
hoods at the back, and made Of Melton and
Londonderry suitings, have to match the
Princess ef Wales or Jockey cap Of the sams
cloth, with the tiny visor In front covered
the same. Costumes Of gray, dark blue and
moss-green pllot-eloth have simple and pretty
cloth tOques to correspond. These TT the
head closely. are but little trimmed, and
prove becoming only 10 fresh youthful faces.
The first openings Of millinery by the Inn
pOrters and the wholesale houses disclosed
fine felt bonnets of such choice qualities and
colorings that they bid fair to prove strong
rivals to bonnets OF velvet and plush. Some
Of the more expensive models are handsome
ly worked In KensingtOn embrOideries; other
styles show soft felt Of attractive colors,
trimmed with narrow folds and rolls Of the
felt, and still others show pinkes bands Of
felt, set ON the edges Of the brim or covering
entirely the coronet front. The pinked
bands are outlined with tiny edge OF velvet
or chenille about the thickness OF pin.
These scalloped edges lap each other, like a
matched roof; and frequently the bands
cover the whole crown Of the bonnet.
Pointed leaves, rosettes, and other oLna-
ments are also made Of the pinked felt. The
crowns are slightly lower to these bonnets,
and there Is a trihe more breadth from side
to side. The new fall and winter eoloTs are
well represented. notably rosewood, dahlia.
prune, golden bronze, all shades OF pure gray
olive, Parma violet, etc. The new green-blue
shades are shown, but they are not largely
imported.

stolen the invention OF Mr.. Evans, and the
charge has never been refuted. Hence when
British writers ignore the just claims of
Oliver Evans and assert for Trevithick and
Vivian the authorship. of the high-pressure
steam engine and the locomotive, they there
by substantially acknowledge the American
origin of both inventions. They are not only
of American origin, but their author although
born in 1855, was nevertheless an American
of the second generation, seeing that he was
descended from the Rev. DIR. Evans, who
in the early days of the colony of Pennsyl-
vania came out to take charge of the affairs
of the Episcopal Church in Pennsylvania.
The writer has thus shown that with the
patent granted by the State Of Maryland to
Oliver Evans in 1857 were associated-frst,

which Is to provide American ships with
seamen at a fixed rate Of wages, TO be paid
